#OurVotesMatter #OurVotesMatter by Eric Scott is a timely, and relevant text which serves to effectively reach into the African American community to disclose the power each voter possesses, and encourage them to harness that power to secure eventual change in the nation, particularly in areas which affect them directly. Various voting campaigns, and legal initiatives have fallen short of securing the return on voter activity which is a true representation of Black minorities. Why is this? One may ask. In this book Eric Scott candidly speaks to his community, in a relatable voice to expose how a lack of voting contributes to continued oppression from the "powers that be." He reveals strategies used by politicians, including the "Bait and Switch," to blind African Americans from the bigger picture, of a better quality of life. #OurVotesMatter also informs on how choosing to not participate with voting correlates to the breakdown of the family structure, one's neighborhood, jobs, health care, investment and more. Eric surveys the traditional African American leadership, and minority organizations whose voices have softened, and whom have strayed from bringing about change where it is truly needed. He questions the effectiveness, and the agenda of our traditional leadership; as well as, educates us on where the true effective community leadership should emerge from. Eric's philosophy is fresh and "outside the box." This is not your usual literature about voting, or politics either. Eric has initiated a down-to-earth conversation to stir his friends, and neighbors nationwide to bring about change where it truly matters. Amidst all the unfortunate, and critical events occurring in the news around the country; beyond protests, boycotts, and marches, if the laws remain in place, then it is all for naught. So from a fellow community member, and Administration of Justice expert, with an insider vantage point, Eric Scott has penned this conversation to reassure America that One vote..."Your Vote" equals Permanent and Legal CHANGE
